Eminem broke his silence about the infamous incident between him and Sascha Baron Cohen (as “Bruno) at the MTV Movie Awards to RapRadar this morning. For a final word on the stunt and a picture of the two, check it out after the break…
If you have any doubt about whether Eminem was in on Bruno’s ass-to-face stunt at this years MTV Movie Awards, that photo should clear it all up for you. It was taken at a rehearsal of the show last week.
Eminem finally broke his silence on the incident by speaking to RapRadar this morning:
RR: Can you clear up the Bruno stunt at the MTV Awards? Was it staged or planned?
Eminem: Sacha called me when we were in Europe and he had an idea to do something outrageous at the Movie Awards. I’m a big fan of his work so I agreed to get involved with the gag.
If it wasn’t planned the way you agreed to, do you hold MTV or Sacha responsible and will you take any kind of action?
I’m thrilled that we pulled this off better than we rehearsed it. It had so many people going “nuts” so to speak. Everyone was blowing me up about it.
After you left the ceremony, where did you go?
After the ceremony I went back to my hotel and laughed uncontrollably for about 3 hours. Especially after I saw it on air.
Well. There it is! Kudos to Eminem for a great job selling the stunt.
